Learning for Life Programme

Learning for Life Programme (LLP)

Our Learn for Life Programme (LLP), "Graciousness and Fitness Through Dance and Music", aims to develop students' confidence through enrichment and exploratory opportunities in various dance forms whilst strengthening the connection between music and dance within our curriculum. Through dance training, students develop important values such as perseverance, respect for others and teamwork. Our dance modules progress systematically over six years, offering varying levels of challenge, diverse dance forms to suit different interests, and a structured pathway for talented students. Beyond teaching ethnic, cultural and modern dance, the school offers a two-tiered programme for Primary 5 and 6 students, introducing them to music composition and lyric writing. We strive to provide enhanced opportunities for students to become creators, connectors and contributors.

Programme Outcomes By the end of the six-year programme, students will:

• Develop creativity, social skills, cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for aesthetics and cultures

• Cultivate an appreciation for dance and music
